ANGELA DAMMAN’s work…
…is inspired by the beauty of native plant fibers and the ancient artisanal traditions of the Maya in Yucatán, Mexico. Since 2012, Angela has been designing art and handcrafted textiles. Her work includes luxury products and limited edition pieces such as chandeliers and furniture made from agaves and sansevieria plant fibers. The pieces are produced at her studio located in a historic hacienda and in collaboration with artisans in neighboring Mayan villages. She cultivates her own plants, including henequen agave, sisalana agave and sansevieria. She extended her materials to include espadin agave (for mezcal) from the fields of Oaxaca.
